Thank you! It certainly is a great rose, especially for the south.

Beautiful photo, roselee. How old and big is your plant? I am trying to grow mine, but it has been very slow so far...

Masha, thank you for commenting. Unfortunately I lost my plant (and several others) after fertilizing during the drought of 2008 when due to a knee problem I couldn't get outside to water enough and see to the needs of the roses. However, I bought it as a band in '06 I think and it grew very vigorously to about three and a half feet in a large pot and was very bushy. It was a frequent bloomer and very healthy. I am hoping to replace it soon as it was one of my favorites. I hope yours catches on and grows well for you. Roselee

Lotus Rose was hybridized by Dr. Moy of the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Dr. Moy is better known for his work with gingers and mallows, but he also hybridized several roses. Lotus rose is my favorite and the only one I still have. I purchased the rose at a San Antonio Botanical Gardens plant sale in about the year 2000 or shortly thereafter. It has a medium fragrance and has very healthy foliage in my no spray garden. Dr. Moy is retired from SABG and I no longer see his roses offered for sale there.

Lotus Rose was my favorite and the only one I still have. I purchased it at a San Antonio Botanical Garden plant sale in approximately 2000 or shortly thereafter. There is a mild fragrance and the rose is very disease resistant in my no spray garden. Dr. Moy is retired from the SABG and his roses are no longer offered at their plant sales.
